\chapter{Problem Area}
\label{chap:problemarea}

In this chapter we will explain the main reasons and scientific arguments for doing this research. This will lead to a deeper understanding of the research area and give us a better basis for choosing an appropriate theoretical framework and scientific perspective. \smallskip 

\noindent The argumentation will follow a certain common path. First we will show why the Internet architecture is a field of conflicting interests and complex governance structures that makes the processes of change and development highly rigid and slow-paced. Partly because of this, the Internet architecture has not gone through the same development as the services built on top of it and the constantly increasing use of these. We will illustrate some of the subsequent problems due to this misalignment of evolutionary innovation. This will point at the architecture of ICN as a solution to many of these issues and we will elucidate the need for research that discus the current state and discourse of information-centric networking with an emphasis on its deployment seen from both a technical and socio-technical transition perspective, which will be the focus of this project and the main motive of the research question.

It is important for us to clarify the complexity of this field and the consequent limitations of our research which will shed new light on some specific aspects of ICN and its deployment.
